What is the main difference between weathering and erosion?

• Weathering can affect rocks and soil, but erosion can only affect soil.

• Erosion can affect rocks and soil, but weathering can only affect soil.

• Weathering is the breaking down of rocks and soil, and erosion is the movement of weathered material.

• The moving & the cutting are both erosion

When Joe saw the Rocky Mountains for the first time, he exclaimed, "These mountains are much younger than ours back East!" Which feature supports his conclusion that the Rockies were relatively young mountains?

• Their sedimentary layers are still exposed

• They have rounded tops

• They have sharp peaks

• Weathering has not yet hardened the rock

Answer explanation

The longer that mountains are exposed to wind and rain, the more their peaks have been eroded away, causing them to be rounder.

What type of weathering is it when acid rain breaks down and changes the rock.

• chemical weathering

• physical/mechanical weathering

• erosion

• Both Chemical and Mechanical weathering
